Friend of mine had a solo crash, and wrecked his zipp rim - completely his own fault. Since I haven't found any place that sells Zipp rims, I wondered if it's possible to buy rims seperately at all? The rims are 4 years old and secondhand. And there's no receipt.

Sent it to Jure Berk. He did a great job repairing mine.

I bought a 2nd hand Zipp disc years ago that arrived with a hole in the carbon but was able to have my local shop send it to Zipp and repair it for a nominal charge. You may need to lean on a shop for assistance but you should be able to get the help you need.....or contact Zipp directly and simply indicate that you have a damaged wheel needing repair and inquire about a viable solution to remedy.

Some wheel manufacturers have a crash replacement policy of some kind. I feel like it's usually something like getting all of the components at a steep discount and paying for wheel build labor.

In the UK fishers don't always have access to replacement rims, so they offer a crash replacement service. 10% off... Seems a bit tight to me. This is done through a shop, with the shop getting 10% off the trade price.
